SOUNDGRAPH IMON HD MOBILE SOFTWARE
Cool add-on features built into the iMon software (news feeds, weather, etc.).Ĭons: Device doesn't use standard sized mount holes - and included screws aren't a perfect match.
SOUNDGRAPH IMON HD MOBILE WINDOWS
Fully Windows MCE compliant for both remote and keyboards (and works perfectly with Harmony remotes). Fantastic implementation of power-on IR control - even for motherboards that don't support power-to-USB while in S1/S3 sleep.

As previous designs have focused more on program-specific functions rather than generic mouse operations (some excluding the mouse completely), the iMON Plus is the first PC remote we’ve reviewed where application buttons clearly take a back seat to cursor movement and other operating system controls.Pros: Perfect way to 'hide' an IR receiver and use your otherwise useless 3 1/2" drive bay in your gaming or HTPC case. PC remote control designs have been in a constant state of flux regarding how much mouse and keyboard functionality to balance with direct application control. Even Microsoft has entered the game with their Windows XP Media Center Edition PC operating system – the first operating system to ship with a functional remote control. Recently, with the popularity of true multimedia PCs growing larger and larger, a number of competitive models have come onto the market, either as accessories bundled with specific hardware or software, or do-it-yourself add-on kits. Don’t be confused by the use of the word “universal” in the official product description: the iMon is only capable of controlling a computer.Īs recently as a few years ago you’d have been able to count the number of available PC remotes on a single hand, few of them capable of doing much more than adjusting the volume or navigating a DVD movie. As a company, SoundGraph works primarily with computer-based DJ equipment, but has recently added two PC remote controls to their lineup: a basic and the “Plus” version we’re reviewing here. thinks they have the perfect solution to the whole PC control issue with their $59 (USD MSRP) iMON “Universal IR Remote Control Device for Home Theater PC”.

Even if it’s less capable than the items being replaced. Wireless versions will eliminate cords along with their inevitable tripping hazard, but when all you want to do is navigate DVD menus or flip through a few television channels, a quicker and more familiar control system will suffice. “Convergence” is a popular buzzword these days, and computers exemplify the concept best.īut as anyone who has lugged a regular PC into the living room with visions of big-screen computing can attest to, a keyboard and mouse just weren’t designed with La-Z-Boy recliners in mind. Plug in the right hardware and you can watch cable or HDTV television, play DVD movies in 5.1 surround sound and timeshift network programming on a hard disk – never mind ordinary computing tasks like surfing the internet, playing an online game in high resolution or balancing the checkbook. The latest generation of powerful, quiet and compact computers can be the centerpiece of a superior home theater, or even act as a complete audio/video system. The transformation is already well underway. A merging of audio, video and processing power? Eventually, they’d like the personal computer to become an essential part of any home media room.

No siree, the computer industry has its eyes fixed firmly on the home theater industry – just take a look at some of the non-computing products coming out from Gateway or even Dell.
